Królica Marta jest wyśmienitą kucharką o bardzo dobrym sercu. Pewnej zimy szczury z miasta kradną jej wszystkie zapasy i musi wyruszyć w mroźną podróż, by utrzymać się przy życiu. Zostaje kucharką wróżek w pensjonacie prowadzonym przez krasnale i zaprzyjaźnia się z pewną kotką.
Ilustracje Barber są wykonane z wielką dbałością o detale, w stylu nawiązującym do Potter. Historia urzeka swoim ciepłem.

This story is full of beautiful pictures and the story flows beautifully. Martha B. Rabbit is a charming housekeeper and makes beautiful pies and jams among other things. Then tragedy strikes during winter….will she be able to pull through?

É um livro para crianças , está autora é graciosa na sua escrita , na motivação para as crianças lerem e ficarem viciadas.
Além disso os desenhos são os mais magníficos que há.

Fantastic little piece of literature for children. My 2.5 year old child loved it and still has me read it more than once a week as 4 yr old now. Lovely artwork and the writing is great quality.

Bucătăreasa zînelor, de Shirley Barber, m-a atras în primul rînd prin modul în care e ilustrată: paginile sînt încărcate cu scene în care nici un colţişor nu e lăsat gol şi din care apar fiinţişoare de tot felul, spiriduşi, şoareci, flori şi colţuri de pădure, cadrul în care e plasată povestea unei iepuroaice cu un dar aparte pentru gătit: Martha B. Rabbit.

Mathta B. Rabbit are ochi mari şi numai atenţie, două urechi care prind tot ce mişcă, poartă un şorţ impregnat de responsabilitate şi talent culinar şi găteşte cele mai bune cornuri din toată pădurea.

Şoriceii, cînd se duceau la şcoală, treceau pe lîngă casa ei zăbovind la uşă căci ştiau că dacă ea ieşea, avea întotdeauna în buzunarul şorţului praline şi trandafiri pentru ei. Pe elfii obosiţi de pe drum, ea îi poftea în bucătăria ei dichisită, unde îi servea cu cornuri şi cafea de ghindă.

Povestea ei curge cu detalii de felul ăsta, alături de scene pictate pagină după pagină din care aflăm cum Martha iepuriţa făcea provizii, căptuşea podeaua cu nuci pentru iarnă şi fierbea siropuri şi dulceţuri ca să poată să stea apoi liniştită în casă, avînd de toate. Viaţa ei idilică, în miros de măr şi arome de ghindă prăjită se zguduie dramatic însă în momentul în care în pădure îşi fac apariţia băieţii răi, care nu sînt lupi mîncători de iepuri fragezi şi bine fezandaţi în confortul căldicel din căsuţa de sub măr, ci trei şobolani spărgători de case.

I've had this book since I was six years old. The illustrations are beautiful and it is a joy to read to my children.
